• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until softened and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
3. Stir in beef broth, chicken broth, water, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper.
4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat broiler.
6. Remove bay leaves from the soup.
